"Second girl, second girl......" Lingyu was startled, hurriedly followed behind Chu Jian, hurriedly walked down the stone steps, and ran to the small open space next to him where there were fewer people, until his eyes were far away from the altar stone platform.

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded behind him, "First meeting? ”

Chujian and Lingyu both stopped, and when they looked back, it was Cui Ziyin.

"Cui Ziyin, why are you here?" Chu Jian looked at Cui Ziyin in amazement, how could he appear here?

Cui Ziyin smiled shyly and pointed to the viewing ceremony, "I was there to watch the sacrifice of the gods, and I saw that you ran down from it with a bad face, so I came over to take a look." ”

Chujian smiled a few times, "It's a little stuffy up there, so come down and breathe." ”

"You don't look good, but you're not feeling well?" Cui Ziyin took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Hatsumi, and looked at her worriedly.

Hatsumi shook his head, "I'm fine, but you, why are you here?" ”

A strange look flashed on Cui Ziyin's face, and his eyes flickered a little, "Yes...... It was the prince who invited the top three jinshi to come with him. ”

"Oh" was uncertain at first sight, so he didn't pay much attention to Cui Ziyin's words.

"Second girl, the sacrifice to the gods is over." Lingyu stepped on her feet and looked at the high stone platform, the sound of bells and drums gradually faded, and she looked back at Chu Jiandao.

Chu Jian was stunned for a moment, and with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to hear a majestic and low voice reading the sacrifice.

"After reading the sacrificial text, this sacrifice to the gods will be over." Cui Ziyin whispered beside him.

Chu Xiang smiled at him and joked, "How does it feel to move into the Champion Mansion?" Does everything feel like a dream? ”

Cui Ziyin rubbed his forehead, "It's really not that real." ”

"Ah, by the way, where have you been since you last came out of the Privy Council? No one was seen for several days. Thinking of the days when Cui Ziyin disappeared after the exam, he asked casually when he saw it for the first time.

Cui Ziyin's fair face flushed, and he didn't know how to answer, "Well, at that time...... When he met a friend, he ...... We reminisced about the wine together, and the excitement was so high that we forgot to let people talk to you. ”

When I first saw him, I ignored the flickering in Cui Ziyin's eyes for a while, "It turns out that you have friends in Ningcheng, it's okay, you won't be bored in the future, you have time to chat with friends, go out to play, and socialize more with others will also help you in your future career." ”

Cui Ziyin grinned silently, and looked at the crowd of people in front of the altar that was gradually dispersing, "This represents the altar of status and status, before yesterday, I never thought that I could come in." ”

When she first saw him, she turned her head to look at him, and the desolation in the voice of this beautiful and elegant man taught her some pity, and she began to worry a little about how to survive in the temple with Cui Ziyin's soft heart?

"Cui Ziyin, you have taken a step towards your dream, as long as you stick to your beliefs and do not hesitate to move forward, you will definitely be able to reach where you want to go and realize your dream."

"Dreams?" Cui Ziyin muttered softly, it was the first time he had heard the word, but he could understand what it meant, dream...... That's a good description.

His dream......

Cui Ziyin looked at Chu Jian with expression, and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a deep and mellow voice.

"How did you get down?" Qi Qi strode over, his eyes were bright, his sword eyebrows were locked, and there was a slight warmth and anger in his eyes, as if Cui Ziyin was transparent, and he walked to the front of the first meeting and stood face to face with her.

Seeing her face change slightly, she suddenly took a few steps back, she looked at Qi Zhen in fear, he had changed into blood-stained clothes, but there was still a faint smell of blood on his body.

Although she was not an animal protector, it was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene with her own eyes, so she was inevitably a little frightened.

Qi Zhen's face sank, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he felt an irritated anger at the defensiveness and fear in her eyes, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Hatsumi crossed his arms and avoided Qi Zhen's inquiring gaze, "I, I'm fine." ”

Qi Zhen took a few steps closer to her and reached out to touch her, but her sharp cry was elicited by her, "Don't touch me!" ”

When she first saw Qi Zhen's hand, her face was dead white, and when she saw the anger and puzzled look in Qi Zhen's eyes, she felt a little guilty in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I, I just ......" Hatsumi shook his head and looked at Qi Zhen at a loss.

Qi Zhen's face condensed, his hand frozen in mid-air clenched into a fist, as if it took a lot of strength to withdraw his hand, and he said in a cold voice, "The sacrifice to the gods is over, I will send you back." ”

Hatsumi swallowed his saliva, "If you are not free, I can go back by myself, don't bother you." ”

Qi Zhen half-narrowed his eyes, looked at Chu Jian coldly, and his body stiffened, what happened to her?

When I saw him at first sight, I didn't react, and looked at him suspiciously.

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Zhen's chest rose and fell, and his eyes burned with rage.

Hatsumi shook his head, bit his lower lip, and replied softly, "No ......"

Qi Zhen reached out and grabbed Chu Jian's slender waist and pulled it into his arms, and his other hand forcibly hooked her jaw, and shouted angrily, "Look at me talking." ”

In an instant, his masculinity and the blood that had faded away, she put her hands against Qi Yan's broad and strong chest, and saw the blue tendons on his forehead and neck* to know how angry he was.

"First Sight! Rajah...... Let go, let go of the Jade Girl! Cui Ziyin was frightened when she saw Chu Jian and was hugged into Qi Zhen's arms, and she was anxious, desperate to hold down Qi Qi's iron-like hand.

"Get out of here!" Qi Zhen's eyes swept Cui Ziyin coldly.

Cui Ziyin shuddered, but did not flinch at all, "Let go of the jade girl!" In broad daylight, as a prince, he bullied a woman like this, but there is a royal law. ”

When I saw it at first sight, I was full of fear, but when I heard Cui Ziyin's words, I couldn't help but want to roll my eyes, this scholar ...... Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen, who was cold-faced and ruthless, was talking about the king's law.

"Cui Ziyin, I'm fine, don't be nervous." She was afraid that Qi Zhen would hurt Cui Ziyin, so she hurriedly asked Cui Ziyin to shut up.

Qi Zhen's gaze turned to Chu Jian, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

Hatsumi shook his head and whispered, "No." ”

"Then why don't you dare to look at me?" Qi Zhen's angry eyes stared at her eyes tightly, and asked in a deep voice.

At first sight, his eyes moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Lingyu was flustered on the side, and hurriedly explained, "Lord Wang, please calm your anger, my second girl was frightened by the blood sacrifice, so she came down to breathe and rest." ”

Qi Zhen was stunned, looked down at Chu Jian, his eyes were burning, the warm breath was on her face, and his voice was hoarse, "You...... You think I brutally killed those animals, so avoid them? ”

When she first saw a feeling of grievance in her heart, she turned her face sideways, "Let go of me." ”

When Qi Zhen heard this, the anger in his heart almost rose again, but when he thought that she was frightened, he felt a little distressed, and he could only let go of her, seeing that there were bright red fingerprints on her fair chin, and his eyes were full of irritability.

Getting free, Hatsumi took a step back and took a smooth breath before speaking, "I'm not afraid of you, I've never seen you...... Such a bloody sacrifice, I don't know...... It turns out that your sacrifice is to be done by beheading those animals alive, I think, I'm just not used to it, I'm not afraid of you. She thought that the sacrifice was done with an ancient dance or form, and of course she had heard that the ancients had a custom of sacrificing life, but she didn't think she would see such blood on the spot.

Qi Zhen is the prince, he has his mission and tasks, the education he has received since he was a child is different from hers, she can't think that Qi Zhen is a terrible and cruel person because of this.

They're just people from a different world.

Qi Zhen's eyes rolled slightly, and his pupils contracted to become deeper and deeper, and after a long time, he gaggled and spoke, "I'll send you back." ”

When she first saw and heard this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she wanted to say something to Qi Zhen, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound at all, she knew that her attitude of avoiding him like a poisonous snake just now must have hurt him.

Cui Ziyin silently looked at Chu Jian and Qi Zhen, his heart was bitter and sour, he knew that he was soft-hearted, and he always didn't know how to protect himself and how to protect the people around him, he always knew what he should do and what he shouldn't do, but he always did what he shouldn't do at the most critical moment, just as he knew that he shouldn't offend Qi Zhen, but he provoked Qi Zhen again and again, he believed that Qi Zhen was not a stingy person, but he knew better that Qi Zhen looked down on him.

Looking down on his cowardice and indecision, and looking down on his indecisiveness, he Cui Ziyin has an unspeakable peerless face, and in the eyes of others, he only has a peerless face.

He thought that as long as he became the champion, the world would respect him, but it turned out ...... Even if he wins the champion, even if his talent is the best in the entire Ning City? They still look down on people like him who don't know how to protect themselves and are at the mercy of others.

He...... In fact, he didn't want to be like this, he tried to become a person who knew how to protect himself and protect the people around him, but the people around him never needed his protection.

They were all braver than him.

Cui Ziyin's weak hands hung down on his sides, the clouds and clouds under his eyes were surging, and his hands gradually clenched into fists, he ...... He doesn't want to go on like this, he doesn't want to continue to be looked down upon, he doesn't want to be protected, he wants to ...... I want to get something for myself, something to make his life meaningful.

No matter what the price is!
